Re: Wintrolls killed CSMA

For the past few months, the signal to noise ratio has dropped from bad to absolutely abysmal. Idiots like zara, Homey, and a few others have absolutely flooded this group with one worthless posts after another (I challenge anyone to find even a single intelligent post from them).

Even the old time trolls like Edwin, Tom Lame, and Liar of R'lyeh have gotten pretty worthless. Nothing but outright lies and stupid posts. Liar of R'lyeh, in particular, seems to think that his lies will become true simply because he repeats them often enough. It's been months since any of them added anything of value.

Then there are the idiots like BB and travis who think that since they don't have any intelligent arguments, they should drag personal information into this group - even after being asked not to.

Once upon a time, there were plenty of trolls, but there were also legitimate arguments occurring in this group. For example, CMT vs PMT. Lately, rational arguments against the Mac are almost nonexistent. The only one left to the Windiots is 'Macs cost more' which isn't universally true, nor is it particularly relevant - since even a high end Mac costs less than an entry level PC cost 10 years ago and since Macs are now available in almost all price ranges (except for the very cheap $299 specials).

The remaining arguments get even weaker starting in the first half of next year as Apple switches to Intel hardware - effectively making it Mac OS X vs Windows - and no one in their right mind thinks Windows is even close to OS X - even the famous Mac-bashing Windows journalists agree that Windows is behind (see Thurrot's article, for example). 

The group is dead. I have better things to do.

Unlike Edwin, I won't say that I'll never be back, but until the S/N ratio improves, it's just not worth the time any more.

Merry Christmas to all.

Trolls do well in this forum, because enough people here feed them. I lurk here quite a bit, and it astounds me to see how trolls here are treated. No matter how many times they post the same thing, a shitload of mac fanboys and fangirls will come out and start arguing. A fanboy is just as bad as a troll, they just have the opposite opinion. If you want the trolls to leave, try ignoring them.
